"Avata 2 is a perfectly fine drone to learn on and an easy jump start into the hobby without the aggressive learning curve of soldering + basic understanding of wiring electronics together. ... Can’t see how it’s trash if you can just pick it up and fly with a free emergency brake as a beginner. ... Seems like the perfect training wheels"
"VERY easy to fly ... the most fun I've had in some time just for ease of use ... I gave my son (14) about 2 minutes of instructions then let him go with it. Super easy."
"I can fly full manual FPV and then have a failsafe button to stop if I f**k up. ... I've been flying DJI for a while and I'm actually scared to go back to custom FPV with no fail safes"

"The built-in camera is currently the best you can get for an FPV drone, meaning you won't even need a GoPro. ... I mean, with D-Log and all that, it's a *really* good camera. Both for its FPV-to-goggles feed, and for recording."
"And the camera quality is brilliant."
"I can make a photo with my Avata 2 (arguably the best camera possible on FPV) if you like, so you would decide for yourself."

"I have an 2SE that is a beast I can't get rid of it. ... I have tried it went in the pool a week ago and I thought for sure that was it...nope I flew it this morning."
"I have four and they all fly fine after countless wrecks. Bad ones. Real bad ones."
"I love it and i crashed 150 times"

"bumping not a problem because propeller guards. ... Bumped another part of the roof and it crashed in the box gutter, but luckily I could take off again."
"It is very easy to maneuver, especially compared to non-DJI drones, since it has DJI sensors, obstacle avoidance, etc. This makes it great for photography and cinematic footage"

"It is a very underpowered drone. You'll outgrow it quite quickly when it comes to freestyle flying. ... On top of being quite heavy, it uses Li-Ion batteries. This means long flight times, but little power. ... It's not very good at actual freestyle flying. If you ever want to fly like [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0gxeHX9gqk), it will never be possible on Avata. Some freestyle, of course yes, but as you start learning freestyle, you'll run into Avata's limitations very quickly."
"I wouldn't put a GoPro on it as it's already a bit underpowered"
"definitely wouldn't try anything beyond very light freestyle with it"

"if you end up damaging the 360, there’s almost no way of getting it repaired."
"Terrible ability to repair them if you crash. ... You are going to crash. Best to have a quad you can repair and keep going."
"And the biggest reason to avoid the Insta cameras is lens damage. ... The X5 just got a replaceable lens, and they carry on like this is genre-changing. Yeah, welcome to 2020 when GoPro did that."

"That only works when the battery hasn’t gone flying out of it. ... Source: I’ve crashed and almost lost my DJI Avata a bunch of times ... Maybe with the Phanton series but I have an Avata like OP. There’s a reason the most popular Avata mod is an air tag holder."

"a single avata 2 battery goes for 120€"
"It requires DJI-specific batteries and charger, which are incompatible with non-DJI drones."
"they're certainly not cheap, which is one factor where other drones are superior cos they don't require proprietary LiPo batteries like the Avata 2 (or *any* DJI drone for that matter)"
I use the Avata 2 in normal mode with the controller 3. It’s quite easy. I always ask the realtor what kind of flight path they want and just do what they ask (maybe a few suggestions).
r/drones • For those that do indoor (or real estate) videos ->I use a Avata 2 for home fly-throughs for a realtor friend. It’s really simple in normal mode with the Controller 3.
r/dji • Which drone to get for flying through houses? ->As most others have said the Neo 2 is a more VERSATILE drone for a beginner... Here's why - you mentioned you want a drone for casual and general use, that's the neo 2 - it's first and foremost a traditional drone with a gimbal and flight stabilization , that's Avata series is not it's an fpv drone . - it has good tracking which is awesome especially for capturing action sports - pair it with a rc and you now have basically a pretty functional classic cinematic DJI drone. The biggest difference is Avata is really more about getting that FPv (flying inside) experience which is certainly fun, but not very cinematic since it's more About adding specific shots like (chase scenes , cliff dives, low flying ridge shots) , most creators that have avata also have other DJI drones, and use Avata for special scenes.. So if your on a family vacation it's like 30s to pull out your neo 2 , get in the air take an orbit or selfie photo of your group ,all done , you would likely still be booting up Avata and it's Fpv goggles... Avata is like having a sports car, lots of fun on the weekends in a twisty road, but Neo2 is like having a daily driver way more practical for most use cases.
r/dji • Neo 2 vs Avata 2 — beginner first drone, which is better value? ->Hey guys, I have an Avata 2 and I'm planning to purchase an Air 3s. I'd like to step into the Real Estate media world to make some profit from what I like most. My question is can I use the Goggles 3 with Air 3s? I know the A3 is compatible but can't find useful info about A3s. If it compatible with what controller? Thanks a bunch.
r/dji • Why isn't the Air 3S not a good pro drone? ->That price is completely ridiculous. But it’s a super fun drone with some great capabilities.
r/drones • DJI Avata 2 - Advice needed ->Custom freestyle quad with AvionRC IKON 2.5 frame and DJI air unit O4 Pro. So much fun in such a small package and easy enough to repair when crashed. My second drone is an Avata 2. That one is also great fun for smoot cinematic flight with the head tracking and the motion controller.
r/dji • What is the best drone that you have ever owned? ->Avata is the easiest way, I do these often they definitely take some practice to make them look good.
r/dji • Drones for recording real estate. ->I would reccomend the Avata 2 than! BUT Check some youtube vids first!! because the Avata 2 is not really beginner friendly, but than again... its way more fun and ALOT more fun to watch movies from you created with it... But yeah first, watch some youtube clips about The avata 2, or the other drones like mini 4 pro. You cant go wrong with a mini 4 pro though !
r/dji • What drone should I get? ->''nausea and vertigo from VR headsets.'' me to i get heavy sick from PC vr headsets!! but with the Avata I DONT. That was also something i was scarred about, but i tried it and i wont get sick from that headset. I also have a mini 3 pro ! they are great! and camera wise extremly good!! Easy to use to! You just need to watch out when flying sideways (you can crash into things), otherwise its very easy. I would not recommend the NEO. So if you ask me is the mini 3 a good deal? yeah it is! Like i said i got the pro version. But i THINK the pro version comes only with some more sensors (for following, tracking and obstacle avoidance). But you have to check that one out if the camera is the same. The NEO has worse camera though! I got the controller were you need to use the phone. That works great, but if you can i would suggest go with the inscreen build one. Sorry for my bad english though :)!
r/dji • What drone should I get? ->Yeah i see you all good. You can always go for the mini 3, because it wont dissapoint you! And later on you can always go deeper into the drone world, and maybe try out even some avata 2 :P ! Take care though!! and watch some youtube videos otherwise still :) !
r/dji • What drone should I get? ->No i own now a mini 3 pro, an avata 2 and i did own other ones. But not an flip.
r/dji • Is the mini 4k really worth the price? ->I have this and a neo both in a small bag that also holds the motion control, FPV control and goggles as well as a 3 battery charger for both. It's so incredibly compact it's wonderful compared to my earlier drones. And not needing a phone at all and being able to share the controls across both drones is amazing.
r/drones • Dji avata2 is legit ->For the outside shots, you want Drone with a mechanical shutter at this point that’s the Mavic 3M or matrice enterprise. The matrice is higher res and has much more sophisticated software to facilitate 2D and 3-D mapping and flyovers and such for the interior shots you’re gonna wanna lean towards possibly a flip or avata 2 which will give you great maneuverability inside and still work well without needing GPS which you will not have under the roof of the house
r/dji • Best drone for Real Estate ->I agree with u/Own_Shine_5855; you need to tell us what you want to do in this hobby. If you want to fly a DJI Avata 2, then go for it. If you want to fly FPV freestyle, like many of the cool YouTube vids show, you will frequently crash. The time spent fixing crashes will dwarf the time doing the initial build , so if building once is prohibitively unpleasant, then it is likely that you'll find the hobby unpleasant since there will be a large amount of crashing. So tell us what has you interested in the hobby, and we can give you better advice about drones that will work for you, or if you just need to bite the bullet and gain some drone building skills. If the latter (e.g. you like the freestyle vids), don't despair; there are some great kits out there and excellent video tutorials that will walk you through every step.
